50 Best Korean Restaurants near Bothell

“I’ve come in sporadically over the past few weeks and I’m always blown away. Food is delicious, atmosphere is amazing, and service is outstanding. There is one waitress in particular that we absolutely adore - the taller mixed race girl (Kylee I think). She’s there every Sunday. She always greats us warmly and is honestly one of the best waiter's I’ve ever had. She brings the kids plates/utensils without being asked; she talks to our kids kindly, without any of that baby dumbed down talk. Even when it’s a full house and it’s hard to catch a waiters attention it’s like she knows what we need before we do. She remembers our orders and makes sure to talk to us as much as possible. And it seems she’s like that with every table (RARE TO FIND). I don’t ever write reviews. I just wanted to express our gratitude for the wonderful food and her outstanding and sweet service because we are moving out of state soon. You guys have a good one and better hold on to her TIGHTLY! 🥰

“Picked up dumplings and a bowl from the truck today in Redmond. Delicious!! I can’t wait to try more.“

“Bothell’s Ta Joia isn’t your sleepy strip-mall filler—it’s a technicolor veggie parade disguised as dinner. I ordered bibimbop, spring rolls, and the feijoada bowl, which felt like a samba in a rice bowl. It’s the rare spot where “eating your vegetables” is less a chore and more a sly dare. Flavor bombs everywhere, and suddenly I’m craving greens I never cared about. That’s Bothell magic.“

“best meal while in Seattle area.“

“This so the third Stone restaurant we’ve tried in the area. Great food at all locations. The menus are different depending on which one you go to. This one seems to have more traditional dishes but all flavorful, well cooked and good portions. The seafood pancake was the best one I’ve tried, though the dipping sauce was kinda plain.“

“Fantastic quality and portion sizes. Some of the best chicken and beef Teryaki I’ve had. It’s incredibly fresh with a smokiness and you can tell the owners really care about the taste of their food. Nice people as well. My go to spot from now on.“

“We love eating at Teriyaki, etc! after church on Sunday! ~Renew Church“

“Found wow teriyaki on TikTok. They live up to their name. I stopped by on good time, so i did not wait for long prep time. According to the recent reviews, when they get slammed wait time is long. I guess I was lucky. Only waited 5 minutes for chicken teriyaki, massive portion with char flavor , good amount of sauce on chicken. Overall I had a great experience at wow. Keep up the good work. I will spread the words to all of my fam and friends.“

“this place is so 🤌🤌🔥🔥🔥 should have a line out the door. hugeeee portions and wow. so good! bravo🫵🫵“

“I tried this place for the first time tonight and it was absolutely incredible!! Chicken was just amazing and the pickled radish is an awesome accent! will def be back soon!“

“Picked up dumplings and a bowl from the truck today in Redmond. Delicious!! I can’t wait to try more.“

“Fantastic experience from start to finish! The restaurant was clean, welcoming, and had a great atmosphere. What really stood out was the service—the staff was incredibly friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout the meal.
The best part was that they cooked the BBQ for us, which made the experience much more enjoyable and stress-free. The food was delicious, perfectly prepared, and served at just the right pace. You can tell the team takes pride in both the quality of the food and the customer experience.“

“Went to visit the Burke Museum and then get food. We wanted Asian, and this was the first out of six places we checked that had a better than 'okay' on the health rating! Food was very good, and it came out quickly. The banchan is always nice to see, some Korean places don't. All in all, worth the stop, would be likely to go again if we're in the area.“

“Eat in (small)or dine out. Excellent food. High quality and we'll prepared. Lots of vegetarian or meat options. Not expensive. Try this place.“

“The service here was excellent and the staff were very attentive. As for the food, it’s clearly high quality, but it has a very distinct style. Unlike the 'Westernized' Korean dishes or the specific style of soup I’m accustomed to, this felt much more like authentic home-style cooking. The fact that the restaurant is consistently packed with Korean patrons suggests they are doing something very right. While the flavor profile wasn't quite what I personally prefer, I can certainly appreciate the authenticity and the effort put into the meal. Worth a visit if you are looking for a genuine, homelike dining experience.“

“This place is a hidden gem! Got the pork trotters & pork belly combo to share between three and were really impressed by the quality of the meat! It was not oily at all and was perfectly supple and tender. The waitress was very nice and would offer to refill our appetizers without us asking.“

“I finally visited after hearing so many good things, and it exceeded my expectations. Everything was delicious, and it’s easy to understand why this place is so popular among the Korean community. The eggplant side dish was exceptional, and the kimbap and spicy squid salad were equally tasty. Great quality food at very reasonable prices. The owner was also warm and helpful, making the whole experience even better.
가지반찬 꼭 드셔보세요!!! 진짜 최고네요. 재방문 의사 10000%입니다.“

“Amazing food and staff was great!“

“Delicious family-owned restaurant. So special, unique in the neighborhood. Small-batch cocktails - they make their own limoncello. Each plate is prepared fresh, in an open kitchen, with care and attention. These are people who care about their product and not just a profit. Enjoy the K-Pop!!“

“Great portion size and friendly staff.“

“Honestly wasn’t sure what to expect, but the food and staff here rocks. I’ll definitely be adding this spot to the rotation!“

“Draw Simulated Selfhost“

“Amazing Staff! So Friendly and the food! Off the Charts!!“

“We have been looking for a go to teryaki spot for a while now, and we found it!! Food here is absolutley amazing, fresh, filling, literally everything you can want from a nice mom and pop shop like this. Owners are super friendly and the vibe is very homey. This is what teriyaki shops should strive to be! They have a kids meal too which means a lot for someone with kids.

Tldr: this place is worth it in every way, shape, and form. Go there now.“

“This place is incredible. Easily the best chicken sandwich in the greater Seattle area. The composition, ratio of slaw to sauce to chicken. A bit of pickling on the slaw. The blend of garlic, soy, and, sweet Chipotle mayo.

Seriously just go. Like right now.“

“It was my first time trying grilled intestines like this, and I was honestly a little worried it might have a strong smell, but they cleaned and prepared it really well. When the edges get slightly crispy and charred, it smells amazing, while the inside still stays soft and chewy. It tastes really good with grilled garlic.

The mushrooms were also really good after soaking up all the meat juices from the grill. The yukhoe was easier to eat than I expected too — once mixed with the egg yolk, the texture became really smooth and rich without feeling too heavy.

The atmosphere of the restaurant also felt really cozy, kind of like those small Korean restaurants in K-dramas. The lighting was nice and it wasn’t too loud, so it was a good place to slowly eat and chat with friends at night.“

“I have eaten here for almost a year, and recently I left a bad review before about receiving spoiled food a couple of times and being brushed over it, but they reached out and made it right.

The food is generally really good, it's fast, and the people working are great. Thanks Late Night Kitchen“

“If you're looking for a solid AYCE KBBQ spot, this is it. For an all-you-can-eat place, the meat quality exceeded my expectations. Service was incredibly fast—as soon as we turned in our order sheet, the next round of meat arrived. The servers were super friendly and kept the drinks and side dishes coming. It does get busy, but the wait is 100% worth it. Highly recommend!“

“This place served neat authentic Korean food. The tofu dumpling soup is really good. The bibimbap was served cold, as opposed to some other places that have the hot stone option. The restaurant is a bit old, and not very well maintained. The chairs and tables are a bit old, and the restroom is not very clean, but still okay.“

“First time here and will surely come back, staff are very friendly, food is great and the place is very clean.“

“If you have not tried this gem, you need to. Not only is it well priced but it is super filling and a great experience. The employees are super nice and helpful and there are so many things to try. I got the half cheese half hotdog covered in potatoes. It was a full meal on a stick!!! I will be going back!“

“The service was great and the food was delicious! Their ordering system is cool; it's a pad where you just scroll through the menu and select what you want. You can use the pad to even call for for someone to come to the table, or you can ask for things as simple as napkins or a spoon.“

“Super friendly staff, cosy atmosphere and amazing food. 11/10, I would bring all my friends here :))“

“Good tofu soup, especially the seafood one.

Everything else is so so, but the soup is amazing! I don’t recommend the beef or the pancakes

The service was amazing, they always come to pour water and ask you if you want more side dishes“

“great food, very authentic“

“I visited this food court specifically for its unique bowl shape. However, it exceeded my expectations. The staff was incredibly friendly, and the noodles were delicious. There were also large chunks of meat and seafood. I’ll definitely be back!“

“Ommmmmmmggggg first time here and the place is amazing 👏🏾. Love the vibe, yanki to the core. But I was hurt 😞 to see the cheese katsu gone, I definitely would return just to see it back on the menu. 10/10“

“Comforting bone broth and generously filled dumplings. From my experience, Korean speciality restaurants only serve banchan that directly compliments the speciality...and their kimchi never disappoints. I love ordering from here whenever I feel under the weather or I'm homesick.“

“My favorite Korean restaurant in the Seattle area! Their broth is always incredibly rich and flavorful. I’ve tried most of the menu, and it has never disappointed. The warm Korean ladies there are so welcoming and kind. They remind me of my mom back in Korea 🥺 If you’re looking for authentic Korean cuisine, I highly recommend this place.

너무 맛있게 잘 먹었습니다ㅎㅎ 레드몬드에서 제일 맛있어요♥︎“

“The best value in Shoreline — lots of banchan, fried chicken and dumplings on the tteokbokki on the buffet. The most unique item they have for the $35 dinner ayce is this marinated squid which comes out slightly sweet but smoky on the grill.

No pictures because I was too busy enjoying myself and the food!“

“A very solid place for good traditional Korean soups. I had the spicy beef soup and was very happy. The place is not trendy and looked to attract a very local crowd. Prices were inline with other Korean restaurants. I can't wait to go back and try some of the other soup selections.“

“We tried this place after reading the good reviews and am so happy we did. My partner got the K-BBQ Bulgogi burrito and I got the chicken katsu burger, both were good but the burrito was great. We will definitely be back for that. Big portion sizes.“

“Wow, what can I say? This adorable mom-and-pop restaurant tucked inside G Mart is truly a hidden gem. I’ve walked through G Mart countless times and somehow completely missed it until Google Maps pointed me in the right direction.

We arrived close to closing time, not realizing they were located inside G Mart and needed to wrap things up as the store was closing. They were understandably in a rush, but that didn’t stop the kind lady serving us from providing excellent service with a warm smile and some of the most delicious food I’ve had in a long time.

I wouldn’t recommend coming right before closing unless you’re prepared to eat quickly. Luckily, I came hungry and had no problem finishing my meal! I really need to start taking pictures of my food because everything was so amazing.

Great service, great food, and an adorable hidden gem that’s absolutely worth checking out. I’ll definitely be back!“

“Good little place to drop in if you're craving Korean. Side dishes were lovely and refilled often and the food we ordered was authentic and tasty. Luckily it wasnt busy when we went and they seated our large-ish party of 7 immediately. Nice little hidden gem.“

“Best Chinese food in Lynwood. Jajjang mein is very delicious, rich in sauce. Dumpling is very tasteful, both are reasonable price. I will recommended to all my friend“

“I had a great experience at Kokio Chicken Bistro! The chicken was absolutely delicious crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and full of flavor. The sauces were amazing and really brought the Korean-style fried chicken to another level.

The staff was friendly and welcoming, and the service was quick. The atmosphere is cozy and perfect for enjoying a meal with friends or family. Everything tasted fresh and well-prepared.

Definitely one of my favorite spots for Korean fried chicken in Kirkland. I highly recommend trying it you won’t be disappointed!“

“First time here at the all you can eat Lunch that was delicious!! This was my first time doing true Korean BBQ and I am a picky eater. I will definitely be back. Thank you David for being so awesome! I appreciate your amazing service and your patience with my lack of knowledge. And also our loud group with the very yummy so ju. We enjoyed the food, the atmosphere and your over the top service!! Thank you“

“AMAZING! This is some of the best Korean food I have had and maybe some of the best I’ve ever had. I got the Japchae-bap and literally texted all my friends with pictures. It’s so delicious. Don’t pay attention to the negative comments, they are just wrong.“

“A tiny Asian spot off the Burke‑Gilman that I always assumed was a coffee shop. We walked in and got pleasantly blindsided. The Brussels sprouts were the star! Crispy, saucy, with bacon! Our one dish came out huge, and everything on the nearby tables looked just as tempting. They’re still setting up their new bar area, so no taps yet, but the place already feels like a low‑key gem hiding in plain sight. The waitress was a sweet delight too! I’m going to go back when I’m not riding my bike and I can be full right out the door.“

“Perfectly okay Korean restaurant. Amongst all the dishes I ordered what stands out most is Grilled mackerels. They serve 3 pieces instead of usual two and looks like there were pan fried which is hard to replicate at home. They serve tons of banchans but in my opinion it is a waste and they should just focus on a few good banchans.“
